This morning Marley was cutting out and painting crowns for Avery and his friend Forrest. She used some sparkly paper that Mike had given her, which he had acquired on some production job or another.
Avery decided he wanted to get involved in making a craft, too, and he started to wildly cut up some of the paper with scissors. Marley just burst out crying, harder than I’ve seen her cry since she found out about Mike’s death, because she saw the pretty paper as a valuable resource that her dad gave her and Avery was just “wasting” it.
So, we had a family cry on the floor of the den over the sparkly paper that daddy brought home for his little artist Marley. Of course, it wasn’t really about the paper.
Man, this is going to be hard.
